The relationship of arylsulfatase C and the steroid sulfatases in mammals

Arylsulfatases (arylsulfate sulfohydrolase, EC 3.1.6.1) catalyze the hydrolysis of the O-S bond of sulfate esters. Two types of arylsulfatases have been described based on their subcellular distribution and biochemical properties. Arylsulfatase C, a Type I enzyme, shares many properties with the steroid sulfatases: estrone-sulfate sulfatase (E1S-sulfatase) and dehydroepiandrosterone-sulfate sulfatase (DHEAS-sulfatase). They have similar subcellular localization, are membrane bound, have alkaline pH optima, are resistant to inhibition by sulfate and phosphate, and are glycoproteins.
